Quick reply as i'm out of easy internet access. Dave: because i want to prove efl works without e by doing drop in replacement. If i could use e, it would be much easier and it already have the grid. It would stay below all until it get focus.
Others: i like the proposals and i'm willing to mentor most of them.
